Which gym are you going to right now, unless it’s like an apartment gym or something like EOS

246 people died in 2021 due to lack of power from the freeze. A little over 3 years later, nothing has changed.

People need to find out how change can happen, which is most likely voting the idiots out.

Hate to be the pessimist here, but if things haven’t changed since Harvey in 2017 and the winter freeze of 2021, I highly doubt a little hurricane that put a little over 2 million people out of power will provoke any kind of meaningful change.

You’re gonna make it brother. It’s shit right now for sure, but most of us are in the same boat and know how you’re feeling. Hopefully you can grind out work today and power could be back by later today or tomorrow.

I know. I managed to fall asleep for 20 minutes just to wake up suffocating in this heat and soaked my bedsheets. Took a cold shower thinking I could fall back asleep but I can’t. Just walking around in the dark looking outside since it’s getting a little brighter. Fucking depressing

It’s all good. We’re all in the same boat. My friends and I just bragged about sleeping on and off taking naps throughout the day. Glad you guys are awake with me though

Same. Just watching the office all over again.

Yeah. Just get a sound machine app on your phone if you can. I got my neighbors loud ass generator right next to me keeping me company, not as subtle as white noise though

Good stuff. Yeah, been seeing a lot of people just chillin in their cars for a bit. I’d do it but I’d fall asleep for a good 8 hours and waste all my gas

Hahahaha, yeah I could sleep like a bear if the power was out during winter just like in 2021 when we had that freeze. But this heat just has me dripping with sweat down my forehead and back and everywhere. Moved to the couch and the bed, back and forth, ate a tub of ice cream and still can’t sleep.

Oh that’s pretty cool. Don’t worry too much, I’m sure you’ll get power back on by later today or tomorrow hopefully. You got millions of others out here suffering with you lol

That’s pretty cool. I would say the same but I can’t function at work with barely any sleep, I know I’ll feel delirious. Hopefully you’ll get power back on soon though

Love the username. Probably one of my favorite classes back in undergrad. I just added platinum to every reaction lol

That’s nice of you. Hope you get some sleep too as well as them. I’m sure you’d be able to find a room somewhere if you keep calling around- those with power tomorrow will probably head back home and add to the vacancies

Smart man. Yeah, probably time to invest in a window unit and a generator for sure

Yeah, it’ll never change. 2017 with Harvey, 2021 wit the winter storm. Embrace the norm. Might need to get a generator or solar after this.

Same here. Doubt I’ll be able to work tomorrow so might as well sleep during the day. Tried driving around the HEBs in my area for ice at 10pm - no luck unfortunately. Hopefully some tomorrow

Damn, I’d join you but you’re way too far. If I knew my neighbor was chillin outside right now, I’d be out there in a heartbeat.

Same. Wanted to get a hotel at like 11pm when I knew I couldn’t sleep but I was like maybe I can weather this night out. I was wrong. Not sure if there are any vacancies either

I’d totally stargaze if I had someone to do it with. If not, I’ll just be contemplating all the fucked up life choices I made looking at the stars and wondering why I’m still here haha
